Ecclesiastical
Early ecclesiastical site (Ard Mór/Uí Seasta – Ardocheasty townland). Early features at this site include St Declan's oratory, cathedral ruins (Romanesque), round tower, and 1 other ogham stone (CIIC 263) still on site inside cathedral walls and 1 other now in the National Museum of Ireland (CIIC 264).
This ogham stone has a small incised cross 'upon the sloping top of the stone, on the side opposite to the inscription'. Greenstone, 1.33m x 0.33m x 0.23m (converted from Macalister 1945, 260).
'The Ogham is chiselled in small blunt scores, and in good condition', up (Macalister 1945, 260).
Example of a Latin name, Amatus 'beloved', in an Irish ogham inscription (McManus 1991, 113). AMADU is also a possible example of an o-stem dative singular used here instead of the genitive.
In the graveyard at Ardmore on a low wall beside a grave (Macalister 1945, 260) at Ardmore early ecclesiastical site, townland of Ardocheasty and barony of Decies within Drum. (GPS coordinates -7.725973, 51.948556)
